I got them in Bungendore, NSW, Australia. I also found the same, but smaller set in Canberra, ACT. My set has six chairs (two with arms and four without) and a table that is about 7′ long. I should have taken photos of the table as well. It also has interesting features.

In the case of the smaller set, I would have called the place an op shop, not an antique store, despite it calling itself an antique store. It is great when you find something like that. New furniture just doesn’t have that charm.

I think to some extent the curving of the wood hightens that soft look. It is a little delicate, likely due to its age, exposure to heat and high humidity etc. These old chairs, although old and not to everyones’ taste, seem to have a character that I just couldn’t find in new furniture.
